Black Ops 2 VG247 community smackdown: Watch here the full match here

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 received its Revolution DLC pack on Xbox Live yesterday. To tie-in with the launch and Dave’s incoming impressions, we’re having a community brawl tonight at 8pm GMT. The stakes are high, the trigger fingers are itching, but only one player can emerge as champion. Who’s it going to be?

This live stream will activate from 8pm GMT tonight. Don’t be late!

Our ultimate winner will walk away with a Black Ops 2 DLC season pass on either PS3 or Xbox 360, but first they’ll have to get the highest overall score across three gruelling free-for-all matches on the game’s classic map-set. Maps will be chosen at random and any class load-out is allowed, but one thing is for sure: With 18 players running and gunning for the prize, it’s going to get totally crazy out there.

The player with the highest overall score – not just kills – will be crowned the winner. We’ll do the maths once the dust has settled and announce the winner, along with our video highlight reel of the carnage on Friday as part of my Revolution DLC impressions article.

So, here ere are our players, and what fine gladiators of the digital shootery circuit they are:
